Are they in town? If so, you should get them delievered to your home, give it a good quality check, and go out of your way to hand deliever the photos. It's a little more personal in my opinion.
If they are not in town, then I'm sure somebody can give you some advice on how to ship them properly.
I too want to review the photos before they are sent to clients.

Thank you for your reply. That's why I have them shipped to me. I want to look at them and make sure everything is OK.
If they are local I do hand deliver them. I have some that I know will be out of town. I am flying to do the wedding. I then have to safely get the photos back to them. There are photo mailers at officemax but I don't think they go large enough!
Currently the company I have print gives me the prints in an envelope with a sliver of cardboard the same size as the prints, usually 8x10's. I fold the edges, wrap that snug and tape it down. Then I place that in a manila envelope which I also fold the edges and tape down with clear packing tape. This gets a printed label with "PHOTOS - DO NOT BEND OR FOLD" at the bottom and off to the USPS it goes. I've not yet had any damage or complaints... so I guess this is enough protection. I've done from 2 prints to over 30 this way. Overall size is ~11x9.
I have gotten some photos from one of our suppliers/artist/photographers at work in a metal contractor clipboard. The photos were padded in there and then put into the contractor.
But I think you get the idea. So a little wander down the paper section of the office supply store might give you some options. Might not be the cheapest solution but it is safe.

That's a neat idea. You couldn't ship reall large photos in that though. I think I am going to go check out some stuff at office max today. THANKS

if you're mailing them I would first cover the print with a sheet of vellum and use a heavyweight paperboard mailer

This is an example of the idea http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=478180&Ntt=clipboard&uniqueSearchFlag=true&An=text
